What to Expect

Your First Visit: Mission-Focused from Day One

We skip the “small talk” and get straight to building your path forward. Here is exactly what happens when you step into our Southfield office:

For Adults & Professionals: Your first session is a 50-minute clinical assessment. We will discuss your history with substance use or trauma and immediately identify which tools—EMDR, DBT, or CBT—will be most effective for your specific goals.
For Veterans: No civilian jargon. We speak your language. We’ll map out a mission plan to address PTSD or transition challenges using a direct, veteran-to-veteran approach.
For Children: I don’t force kids to “spill their feelings” on a couch. The first session is about building safety in the playroom. While I consult with parents on developmental history, your child explores the tools they will use to learn self-calming and emotional regulation.

New clients, please complete the following 2 forms before your first appointment:

Frequently asked questions

Deciding to start therapy is a significant step. Whether you are curious about the mechanics of EMDR or just wondering how to prepare for your first visit in Mid or Southeast Michigan, we want to provide the clarity you need to feel confident in your decision.

Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?

We offer both. We have physical offices in Southfield and Grand Blanc for in-person sessions, and we provide secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth options for residents throughout Michigan.

How long does a typical session last?

Standard individual sessions are approximately 45–53 minutes. Specialized treatments like EMDR or Play Therapy intake may occasionally require longer blocks, which we will coordinate with you in advance.

How do I know which office to visit?

It is entirely based on your convenience. Our Southfield office serves the Metro Detroit area (Birmingham, Royal Oak), while our Grand Blanc office serves Mid-Michigan (Fenton, Flint, Holly). Scott Turner rotates between both locations.
